@benhogan @unavailable092 @greglukosek Couldn’t upgrade my order before 9pm deadline and now blocked from app. Will I get my order or not🤔

@unavailable092 @greglukosek I’m from Waitrose

It's a sad state of affairs when people laugh and celebrate the assassination of others for differing beliefs. I fear for the life my children and future generations will face. What happened to compassion, empathy, and respect?

@KatieWhelan5 @skytv Yes - here too!! Hopefully not another #cyberattack

Anyone else’s @skytv down?? Our channels and broadband just cut out and it won’t let me into the app either?? #sky #skydown

Please help this important study if you have an English Springer Spaniel diagnosed with Idiopathic Epilepsy.  The researchers are also looking to recruit healthy ESS aged over 8 years old that are unaffected by Epilepsy. #englishspringer #englishspringerspaniel #canineepilepsy

@BritishVets @OSUAgSci Be really interesting to hear (about) that lecture because as breeders we have been collecting evidence based data on the cons of early neutering for some years now so delighted that it would appear the message not falling on deaf ears

Is #neutering dogs a zero-sum game? Ahead of this week's #BVACongress session on the topic, panelist Dr Michelle Kutzler @OSUAgSci looks at the adverse effects of neutering and what it means for vets and pet owners. ow.ly/lUAf50Q773G

@emmamilnethevet Are these presentations online/webinars and for the veterinary community only?

I have 3 presentations in September, the first is this one. We often focus on the physical impact of extreme conformation, but these animals' lives are affected in so many other ways. We have to consider the mental impact too. #animalwelfare #extremeconformation #behaviour

@thebsava Most welcome. Is it aimed at the veterinary profession alone or for clientele also 🤔 Just as a matter of interest will it be promoting or campaigning for the use of specific product🤔

The latest edition of the BSAVA Guide to Nutrition is coming this autumn! 🐶 This expanded edition compliments the BSAVA’s championing of the importance of nutrition in small animal practice.

@HeatherLydia1 Oh wow! Looking forward to ordering a copy for my inner child

Inspired by my dogs and my love of dogs …… coming soon

@thebsava How exciting for the profession to learn from Penny Watson about these awful conditions. As ESS breeder health representatives, we are grateful for the guidance she has given us over the years with Chronic Hepatitis. Living in the mountains sounds fab😀

Join Penny Watson, who will discuss problematic pancreatitis and horrible hepatitis: can I do more for affected dogs and cats? On Thursday, 20th April, at All Saints Hotel, Bury St Edmunds, from 3.30 pm. About this session 👉 ow.ly/zcEz50NtsvN

Monday 30th January 7pm - 8:30pm - FREE webinar on Canine Epilepsy with @TheKennelClubUK. For more information & registration link, visit englishspringerhealth.org.uk/events-webinars

@MalcM @bvnauk @CompassVet @AWF_VETS Oops #spellingerror can confirm that exaggerated canine conformation a big threat to canine health & welfare #changingbehaviours

If you’re at @bvnauk congress, come and listen to the great session on Welfare and Extreme Confirmations with @CompassVet and @AWF_VETS. RVNs can make the big difference to welfare! #HumanBehaviourChange #BVNACongress2022

@MalcM @VetCompass “None so blind as those who will not see” #changingbehaviours #clockisticking

“A major limitation to progress has been human blindness to what is plain to see” @VetCompass 2/2

“Extreme body conformation as an avoidable and human-made harm to innate health may be the most pressing welfare issue for dogs right now” @CompassVet speaking in @AWF_VETS session at #BVNACongress2022 1/2 🧵

@emmamilnethevet @The_Blue_Cross Makes very enlightening reading - who knew that ESS were still a popular choice of canine companion - we do now!

Almost 100k people helped @the_blue_cross with the #BigPetCensus, sharing insights into their life with pets, and what welfare issues they consider the most important, all of which will help shape a better future for pets, take a look at the results here bit.ly/3RLIkG5

@WonderhoodHQ @TheKennelClubUK @DogBRG @emmamilnethevet @marcthevet @beverleycuddy seriously questionable idea! More responsible & beneficial for animal welfare for eg focusing on all rehoming centres struggling to pick up the pieces of ill judged breeding #furbabies😡
